DEVICE FOR DISCHARGING MATERIAL TO BE MEASURED IN AUTOMATIC MEASURING APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE:To shorten a standby time, by performing the discharge operation of a material to be measured, which is inputted at the previous time, until the material to be measured reaches a timing hopper from a measuring hopper, in an alternating manner with respect to two collecting paths. CONSTITUTION:Collecting chutes 15 are divided into right and left parts 15a and 15b. An outside receiving part 17a of the left part 15a and an inner receiving part 16b of the right part 15b are merged. A first collecting path 19a reaches a left discharge chute 18a. An inner receiving part 16a of the left part 15a and an outer receiving part 17b of the right part 15b are merged. A second collecting path 19b reaches a right discharge chute 18b. The paths 19a and 19b are symmetrically provided on the right and left sides. The first material to be measured is dropped to the first collecting path 19a from a plurality of measuring hoppers 12. Then combination computation is performed for a measuring machine 11, to which the material to be measured is not dropped. The material to be measured is dropped to the second collecting path 19b based on the optimum combination.
